“When we bought our home on Hilton Head, we decided to use Absentee by the Sea for the peace of mind that our property was looked after whilst we are away. But we’ve found Absentee by the Sea has given us so much more; advice on local amentities, help with things around the house, and preparation for our arrival. We are very happy having Terry and his team on our side.”

Paul C., Indigo Run

“Terry and his company, Absentee by the Sea, have been managing our busy property over the past year with excellent results. He is proactive and his team responds immediately to any issues that arise with positive results.”

Jim J., Sea Pines
